All culturally impactful events start with an initial seed
of inspiration. Just ask Adam
Crockett and Ryan Hickey. In September 2002, the two young art enthusiasts
coordinated the first ever ORANJE showcase, which was rooted in an idea for a
small gathering of friends to share their art and music. Thirteen years later,
however, that humble affair has blossomed into a full-on meeting of imaginative
minds, featuring cartoonists, chefs, musicians, painters, poets and much more from
all over the region.

More than 20,000 people have attended the annual ORANJE event since 2002.

Highlighting more than 30 visual artists and 30 performers on
multiple stages, the annual
contemporary art and music event will take place this Saturday at the Indiana
State Fairgrounds. With the help of countless creators, numerous local
supporters and the thousands of faithful patrons who have attended in years
past, ORANJE continues on with its mission to "explore the boundaries of art,
music and culture and present them to the public in an exciting, interactive
and stimulating environment where you can truly 'indulge your senses.'" For
